AZ lease improvement bonds.
Flat 3%. Soft pull.

When a commercial landlord requires a tenant to guarantee a build-out as a condition of the lease, a tenant improvements performance bond is the surety form of that promise. It’s a private, contractual requirement — not a state mandate. We write it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the tenant-improvements bond actually does

Commercial landlords often finance or rely on tenant improvements — the build-out that makes a leased space usable for the tenant’s business. When the landlord wants assurance the work gets done as agreed, it can require the tenant to post a performance bond as a condition of the lease.

This is a private, contractual bond — there is no Arizona statute that mandates it. The terms come from your lease: the obligation it guarantees, the amount, and the conditions for a claim. The bond protects the landlord against the tenant’s failure to complete the improvements, up to the bond amount.

The amount is whatever your lease names — typically tied to the cost of the improvements. We issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull that never affects your score. Because a performance bond guarantees completion of work, underwriting reviews the obligation; credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs. If the surety pays the landlord, you repay the surety.

Private / contractual (not a state mandate)An Arizona lease tenant improvements performance bond is a private, contractual guarantee required by a commercial landlord — not an Arizona statutory or licensing requirement. Its terms (the obligation, amount, and claim conditions) come from your lease agreement. Confirm the required amount and bond form with your landlord or their counsel.
